AIYIMA A70 Mono Amplifier Review

[olds1959special]

I couldn't help it. I just rolled the op-amps to LME49720NA. It was easy to do but the LED's didn't line up perfectly with the holes afterwards, so I might fix that later. Be careful not to move the front LED's if you do this. The sound is subjectively better, less dry (for sure!)

I placed the amp sideways to avoid seeing the uneven/dim LED's from op-amp rolling. They fit perfectly on my Iso Acoustic Isopods which give them more ventilation from underneath. Also, I leave them on all the time, since they generate minimal heat and since my subwoofer and interface both are on all the time too, so I can just play something and hear sound without flipping any switches, and then output to my headphones only as needed with the Apogee software.

I removed the orange knobs completely and use them without knobs.

I Like IT very much, 6 Channel Setup.

Once you take off the knobs they are hard to get perfectly right when you put them back on, so I took them off completely to get more accurate control of the levels. I also put black electrical tape over the lights, since my lights were not even from disassembling and re-assembling (to roll op-amps.)

The certainly can get enough fresh air. A nice, minimalist aesthetic
